1 tsp guar gum OR 1.5 tsp xanthan gum
2 eggs, beaten
4-5 mashed, ripe/over-ripe bananas

Pour batter into a greased bread pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Do not underbake; gluten-free bread needs to be baked longer than gluten-containing breads. If the bread starts to get brown before it is done, cover the bread with foil and continue baking until done. Cool on a wire rack and slice once mostly cooled.

Notes

I like to serve banana bread slices with fresh strawberry butter. This is easy to make even with diary-free butter! Simply mash 1-2 strawberries with 3-4 Tbsp of dairy-free butter (the sticks work better than the spread from the tub).

    Please send out more gluten free recipes. I also have to omit eggs.

      Hi Brenda! Thanks for your comment. I have had good success with supplementing vegan egg replacer or similar egg substitutes (vinegar and baking soda, applesauce) with my baking. The taste/flavor won’t always be affected, but your egg-free baked goods may not rise as high as those containing eggs.
